Message of hope and prayer for brother’s freedom

Since English is not my first language, I would have never imagined I would speak on Irish media, never mind to sit down and write an article for an Irish newspaper.

I suppose my source of encouragement started off when I thought of ways to help my siblings, and one of these was to speak on the media.

It all started when my four siblings where surrounded in Al-Fath Mosque after having witnessed a peaceful protest that took place in Egypt in mid August. There is nothing more difficult in life than witnessing your loved ones being hurt and you are helpless regarding doing anything for them. The situation didn’t just stop at my siblings but also my beloved father, for whom at every second I was worried he couldn’t handle all this news.
